Riders respond to allegations of faking injuries during LDC
The Roughriders have won three games in a row, but their latest win hasn’t come without controversy.
Fans, Winnipeg media and even quarterback Matt Nichols have accused the Riders of faking injuries when the Bombers were trying to implement their “no huddle” offence.
“I think everyone can see what’s going on, I don’t know if I need to say much more than that if you want to go play soccer, play soccer,” Nichols said post-game, referencing how soccer players play up injuries to draw penalties.
However, Ese Mrabure, who was one of the defensive tackles that went down under those circumstances, said he’s legitimately injured.
